Investment Q&A

Q: hi,
can I get Peter's thoughts on the "circular" financing of AI deals going on please. can he compare this to the same phenomenon that was going on in the Dotcom bubble. Does Peter think this is starting to look like the companies propping up the AI theme overall? when an average investor looks into what these companies are involved in, one does not get much confidence in their "leaders" honesty and morality, which could lead an average investor to believe things are being manipulated.
cheers, Chris

Q: Hi 5i, What technology companies are likely to be in business in 20 years from today.
Of the above ?
Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Between NVDA and CECO, which "stock" would you consider having the most share price potential over the next 5 yrs? I am considering trimming some NVDA profits for investing in CECO, if this move makes sense. Currently I hold a tech heavy portfolio.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Two questions. You mentioned earlier today selling VRT and adding to NBIS to consolidate positions. Do you feel the growth is better in NBIS and outweighs the benefit of diversification? Overall direct AI exposure. I have VRT (3%) NBiS (2%) CLS (2.5%) NVDA (4%). Would you personally feel ok with this much direct exposure for the next 12-16 months? Increase or decrease? I didn’t included my 6% position in Google but maybe should have?

Q: Hi Peter and 5i,
May please have your thoughts on NVDA's announcement that META and ORCL will adopt its Spectrum-X Ethernet networking switches for their AI data centers.
Do you have an opinion on how much this will affect ANET's market position?
Would you look at exiting a position in ANET based on this competitive threat?
ANET is down 13% on Monday and Tuesday.
Thanks so much.

"Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) stock fell 2.4% Monday after NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced that Meta (NASDAQ:META) and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) will adopt its Spectrum-X Ethernet networking switches for their AI data centers.
NVIDIA revealed that Meta will integrate Spectrum Ethernet switches into its networking infrastructure for the Facebook Open Switching System (FBOSS), while Oracle plans to build giga-scale AI supercomputers with Spectrum-X Ethernet switches.
The announcement appears to have triggered concerns about potential competition for Arista Networks, which is a major provider of cloud networking solutions and data center switches. Investors may be viewing NVIDIA’s expanding footprint in the networking space as a competitive threat to Arista’s market position."

Q: What do you think of these etfs for income and some growth how safe are they

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on recent “noise” around circular financing. Is this not unusual in certain industries? A concern or risk to be aware of? Or just static noise that should be ignored? Thanks

Q: Sold some NVDA and now want to increase my weight in these stocks. What would be your order to add based on growth potential.

Q: Got my first 10 bagger today!! Thank you to everyone at 5i bringing us such good stock ideas and portfolio analysis. Thought Nvidia was going to be my 10 bagger but Galaxy Digital has been on a tear and takes the prize. Now that I have to trim them both(again) what stocks might be worth looking at in Communication services(US or Canadian) as I am presently low in that sector.
Thanks again.
Perry

Q: AMD surging this morning. How bad is this for Nvdia?

Q: The time has come to trim some of my NVDA, it simply has grown too large as a percentage of my portfolio. Can you please provide 3 top picks in the US for a long term hold.
Thank you

Q: What sectors do you think will do well in the USA in the following months? Could you recommend 10 of your top picks in these sectors.

Q: CSCO is one of my core and long term holds. Lost money and made money and now after so many years I am sitting with very significant gains.

The question is this: Under the current AI craze and momentum and things changing so rapidly, should one hold and let it run the course or sell it and move it to AI based stocks. (I already have some of your favourites like GOOG and NVDA.)

Where does CSCO fit in the new AI paradigm shift?

Many thanks.

Q: NVDA has been kind of left in the dust this year, up "only" 39%. LRCX, though, is up 90%, WDC is up 185% and SEA is up 190%. All good for me since I own all four but I'm wondering why the market seems to have turned away from NVDA. Especially in the last month, SEA and WDC are up 48% and 58% respectively, in the last thirty days.

Q: We hold most of the 5i Balanced and some of the income portfolio stocks plus the fallowing us stocks. amzn, brk.b, cost, goog, isrg, lly, msft, nvda, smci, vrt, v. Berkshire is over 8% and the others are 5% please suggest a couple of us names to add to this portfolio. or any to trim. ( US is a growth portfolio ).
Thank you for your superb service over more than 10 years. Ian

Q: I am in the process of sending my daughter funds to start a TFSA. She deals with Royal Bank. Can you suggest what is best for her to start. Mawer Mutual Funds or GIC's, or? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you Gordo

Q: Hi Folks,
I sold some CSU recently. I now have MSFT, NVDA, AAPLE and some CSU as holdings in the Tech Sector( GOOG and AMZN as well). Can you suggest a couple of Tech stocks that I could add to my holdings in the Tech Sector. This would be in my TFSA.
Thanks

Q: Is Nvidia and PLG a buy?

Q: Hi Folks,
CSU or NVDA-which one is the best buy today for a growth oriented TFSA.
Thanks

Q: Knowing that portfolio weights are personal to each individual, what would be your highest comfortable weight for each of NBIS and NVDA if it were YOUR portfolio.
Thanks
